I.lttlo Thliign ot I.Ue. Why Is it that wo so easily forget that tho little things in life aro what make it easy or hard? A few plonsant words, a warm hand-clasp, a cordial letter are simple tilings, but they ure mighty in their influence on tho lives of those about lis, adding a ray of hope to many disconsolate hearts, giving courage to disappointed, weary ones, and helping at tho same time to make our own lives sweeter. Fow people realize how much tho little attentions of every-day life mean to their associ ates in thu home, society and the place of business. It is generally a lack of consideration that makes one forget the tiny pleasantries; but lack of con sideration is really ono form of selfish ness, and selfishness is not a desirable quality. Remember that the little things in life, cither good or bad, count for moro with those we love than we ever know, und we should be watchful of our actions and ot our words. i t Heard by the President.
